Clemson vs Virginia Prediction

I’m on Clemson here. I know the Tigers have the bye week coming up and are probably looking forward to that. However, Clemson’s really shown no signs of letting up at all since the Georgia game, and I’m in the camp that until I have a reason to doubt Clemson, I won’t do it. The Cavaliers have the potential to be really solid here and put up a fight, but in the end, I just think Clemson is out to make statements regardless of who is on the other side. Give me Clemson.
